Dillon Lutes, LMHC (he/they)

Whether facing in-the-moment or long term concerns, therapy provides a unique and professional third-party perspective. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I am a proud queer therapist with a deep commitment to supporting LGBTQIA+ clients through both internal struggles and the very real weight of societal pressures. I have worked across a range of settings, including health promotion, Mass General Brigham, and group practice. I draw from an eclectic blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Feminist Therapy—tailoring my approach to what fits you.

I hold a Master's in Psychology from Boston College, where I have returned as an adjunct professor of the practice. I bring that same teaching orientation into my work with clients—helping you understand the skills, frameworks, and coping strategies behind what we explore together.

My priority is to help you find relief as soon as possible, and to understand the deeper roots of what brought you here in order to sustain feeling better. I view sessions less as a clinical appointment, and more like an honest conversation with someone genuinely in your corner. I'd love to connect—feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation together!

Therapeutic Modalities

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the theory that thoughts cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and modifying dysfunctional beliefs underlying their thinking. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders.

  • Existential - Humanistic Therapy

    Person-centered therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. Therapists in this tradition are interested in exploring the nature of creativity, love, and self-actualization. Clients realize their potential through change and self-directed growth.

  • Psychodynamic Narrative Therapy

    Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, evolved from Freudian psychoanalysis. Psychodynamic therapists believe that the past influences the present, and that bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness promotes insight and resolves conflict. Narrative therapy uses the client's storytelling to indicate the way they make meaning in their lives, while externalizing and deconstructing problematic and dominant storylines.

  • Feminist Therapy

    Feminist therapy, an integrative approach for all gender identities, focuses on challenges and stressors faced as a result of bias, stereotyping, oppression, discrimination, and other factors that threaten mental health. The therapeutic relationship, based on an authentic connection between the therapist and client, helps empower clients to understand the social factors that contribute to their concerns, claim their unique identity, and build on personal strengths.
